When a leak has been identified, the test can be repeated without a tip to determine whether the leak arises from the tip cone/tip coupling region. The dynamic test can rapidly determine whether a defective piston (contamination, scratches, etc.) has caused a leak. The pipette button must be pushed down numerous times during the measurement period. The associated piston movement allows a defective piston to be recognized. In the static test, the pipette...
